The only event of note for Tuesday that is concerning global markets is the Trump-Kim summit currently taking place in Singapore, and market participants are waiting for fresh headlines from the meeting as two of the world's most volatile and unpredictable leaders attempt to hash out a trade/denuclearization deal behind closed doors.
